Welcome to MINI2

Have a look in the UK & Ireland Regional forum. That's where all the meetings, planned and confirmed, will be posted.

Nohedes · Jan 24th, 2008, 01:17 PM

Hi, thought I'd put a post here as the order is now in for a MINI!

I had an original MINI for my first car a LONG time ago (1992), it was C-reg and red and I loved it! Just ordered a MINI Cooper S which will be my girlfriend's car but I am looking forward to taking it for the odd spin.

Thanks to everyone for the info, particularly helpful source of info on options etc.

Cheers,

N

Hi Everyone,

I've been lurking around here for a few weeks and thought I'd best speak up

Ordered a Lightning Blue/Silver Clubman D in November and should be getting it in a couple of weeks. First car I've ever specced from scratch and finding the waiting unbearable.

Currently running a Smart Roadster Coupe (see pic) for the last two years, which is great but the other half and myself are struggling with it as an only car. Fancied a big car so went for a MINI

Thanks for all the informative postings I've read up to now (and will be reading in the future).

Ian

Welcome Ian,

The wait will soon be forgotten when you start to play! What options did you go for?

I'm sure it will. Did think about waiting until the start of March for an 08 plate but I'm a tad impatient and have waited a while already.

Not gone too overboard (noticed how scarily easy it would be add 50% to the cost with options) and jut gone for a few extra bits and pieces. As it stands I've added the following:
-Pepper Pack
-Auto Lights and Wipers (missed these as I had them in company cars before the Smart)
-Heated washers and mirrors
-TLC

Did consider adding a lot more but the GF stopped me before we over stepped our budget

Go for a cheap private plate and nobody will ever know how old/new the car is!

I can't remember if you get an MFSW with Pepper but I'd add that if you don't; otherwise it looks good to me. (But. as you say, it's all too easy to keep ticking boxes.)

D2D2 · Jan 26th, 2008, 08:08 PM

Hi Minisoopercooper,

I'm living in Marseille,"the deep south."

Was debating the 57/08 plate with regards to future resale, but its never going to make enough difference to me to warrant waiting an extra couple of weeks

Only get upgraded to the leather wheel as part of the Pepper pack. I have had MFSWs in previous cars and hardly used them so thought I'd save a couple of hundred. I originally was looking at the D hatchback and ended up going for the Clubman, leaving me with less to spend on toys than expected

Hi! I,m a new member and I was recently assigned a 2002 MC. I am trying to find out if the after market projector-halo headlights that are offered on ebay (attached) would fit well or would the 2006 headlights match better? Thanks!

Hi all - I have defected from the VW Forum (www.mytreg.com • Index page) where I have lived for the last 4 years......

I have ordered a Lightning Blue/Silver Clubman D with all the electrical gizmo options (c.£21k) for March 1st.

I have also bought a number plate for it:-

CL08MEN (well its as close as I could get to CLUBMAN).

Have also got a factory visit Feb 1st courtesy of Derek on this Forum (very many thanks to him!!).

I am in a loan Cooper D till mine arrives - its doing 57mpg which is double what I used to get (and doing 25k per year was getting pricey ~ £100 a week in fuel). Even managed 94.4mpg one morning commuting to work over 20 motorway miles, slipstreaming a 56mph lorry !!!)

Get used to having me around....I have no real friends !!!!
